Poll question: What keeps you awake worrying at night

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. fear of not having insurance in order to get my sleeping bills,so

that I can sleep without worrying about how to pay my bills :D

[scarletwoman]

2. Having to get up at 2am to pee. (nt)

[TahitiNut]

13. Only once??

:evilgrin:

[scarletwoman]

15. Depends.

:evilgrin:

[TahitiNut]

23. I sometimes think folks my age should be raising infants.

After all, I'd already be awake for their feedings. :rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

16. LOL!

:D

[Orwellian_Ghost]

3. K&R

n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

4. Fear that my 401ks and IRAs are being eaten by termites.

And that haveing barely recovered from the 2001 crash I am in the middle of getting robbed by the plutocrats once again.

[Initech]

5. Martial Law in Los Angeles

The very idea that this possibility exists scares the shit out of me. I lived through the riots (sure, I was 12 at the time), but holy crap. :scared: :nuke:

[Renew Deal]

6. Devils advocate

The results would be reversed if they were bombings/attacks on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis.

[graywarrior]

Seriously.
Every god damn night.

[AlCzervik]

[dweller]

that enough vino doesn't cure.

[AndyTiedye]

10. Fear of Fascism

[Captain Angry]

11. Solution: Take 21 credits of 300 and 400 level courses.

You'll learn how to sleep standing up. :-)

[Hoof Hearted]

18. Shit yeah! That will do it!

'specially if you pound too many of them into any given semester.

[Captain Angry]

19. I'm doing 3 400s and 4 300s right now.

And my brain is going to explode.

Hence me posting on the boards tonight. I'm sick to death of school projects that have mandatory team participation when the other 4 members of the team won't do any work.

[LibDemAlways]

35. Don't tell me that kind of shit is common in college, too.

My daughter is a only a freshman in high school and already the group projects are coming fast and furious. And, the other kids don't seem to care, and are happy to let somebody else do all the work. I'm not about to let my kid's grade suffer on account of the shoulder shruggers, so I've had to take up the slack and help her put them together. We've already worked through 3 science projects, with a 4th coming up, and a huge geography project that she's doing virtually by herself. It's on China, and there we were last week, in LA's Chinatown looking for authentic arts/crafts for her to present to the class, along with a power point she's had to put together on her own. She's tried several times to get the other kids involved, but they repeatedly flake out. It's frustrating, and when I e-mailed the teacher about it, she didn't even bother to respond. She's a huge believer in "cooperative learning."

I hate this. Pisses me off no end.

[Cerridwen]

21. Great. Then I can lose sleep over how I'm going to pay for them. n/t

[Captain Angry]

22. I have that planned out already.

I'm going to fake my death for the insurance money and to skip out on my debts next year. :-)

[Cerridwen]

24. LMAO

Thank you. I needed to laugh.

P.S. PM me how you did it so I can learn from your experience.

:rofl:

[Captain Angry]

26. I'll be graduating in May, right before the elections.

Maybe I can do something grand.

An accidental motorcycle jump into a the Republican Candidate's bus while doing a tribute to Evil Knievel or something. :-)

[Cerridwen]

27. Make sure you're "jumping a shark" when you do it.

:rofl:

The irony would be so great!

[Captain Angry]

29. Maybe I'll just wear a Joe Thornton sweater from the San Jose Sharks.

It will be an inside joke that way.

[Cerridwen]

30. You know, I wish the big smile smilies were bigger.

:D
:D
:D
:D
:D
:D
:D

[Captain Angry]

31. And remember, *I* won't be wearing the sweater.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Sharks sweater...

Oh wait...

:-)

[Cerridwen]

32. There ya go. You gonna order one in "your" size?

:rofl:

[onehandle]

12. I was afraid of the terrorist attack scenario until Bush saved us from all terrorism.

Now I'm afraid of not being able to pay my bills. Thank God the President saved us! Now we can focus on what's important; Bush's horrible economy and the long term damage he and his lickspittle party has done to our country.

[devilgrrl]

14. Other: Hugo Chavez!!! He's scarier than the Boogie Man himself!!!!

:sarcasm:

[MilesColtrane]

17. Other: The immanent reality of death's eternal non-existence.

I'm available for children's parties by the way.

[tuckessee]

20. Cats...

Cats that might vomit on me or my bed. My cats.

[Truthiness Inspector]

25. We are spoiled. And we bitch.

Life is good.

[razors edge]

28. The beer will run out. n/t

[JDPriestly]

33. Having to live in a fascist state with an idiot for president

and fools in the so-called Congress. That's really scary. Losing the freedom to travel. Losing the freedom of speech. Losing the freedom of religion. Losing the right of habeas corpus. Having my phone calls, conversations, e-mails, posts on DU, etc. heard and read by the KGB, Stasi or the SS or whatever new name is invented for it. Living in a country where the government can send agents into my house to look around at any time without telling me they are coming or after they have been there that they were there. Living in a country where the government knows where I am at all times. Living in a country where the government knows what books I read, what movies I see and cares about it. Those are things I really fear.

[Liberal In Texas]

34. Fear of another poll on DU that asks those eternal questions...

BUT IBTL!

[book_worm]

36. nothing--until now.

[KewlKat]

37. Well, these for starters

That this administration will launch yet another “regime change” in Iran in the name of democracy and the efforts of those that care and who are trying to stop it are futile.

That no matter who wins the presidential race in 2008, it will just be more of the same, incompetence.

That we’ve already gone beyond the tipping point and Global Dimming and Global Warming will accelerate faster than a speeding bullet leaving no one behind to turn off the lights.

That there is a man, woman or child that went to bed hungry and cold tonight.

That there is a family that will lose their home and will have no place to live thanks to W’s economy.

That the nation has become so divided on nearly every issue, we can’t accomplish change on anything.

That the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is nearing extinction.

That the nodule they just found in my cat scan is cancer.
